Charles Towne At Park Central

Lived here over a year ago, and just now getting a call from debt collector for the 1^st time saying we owe about $ 300 for park central for carpet cleaning and a few other random things! Park central never tried once to contact us! The money isn’t that much, but the fact that they didn’t try to contact us once about this, kept our deposit and NOW charging for cleaning and getting a debt collector involved is horrible! I’m more upset about this affecting my credit more than anything. We barely had furniture, never were home (because walls are SO thin you hear everything at night) and NEVER had stains or damage to the carpet.
Aside from random fees, walls were very thin, groups of guys would harass women whenever any walked by, and we’ve had to call police ourselves when a physical fight broke out amongst out neighbors involving women and children!

I signed a lease a year ago thinking I was getting an amazing apartment that I had reserved. Little did I know that they gave my apartment away and when I came with my truck of stuff to move in I had no where to live. I had to take a smaller apartment that I couldn’t even look at to see if I liked it. I need a place then and there because the park central apartments lied to me. From the first day I moved in I had to deal with nothing but problems. Nothing in the apartment worked. The fans and lights where all non functional. The dishwasher had a rack inside it that didn’t even fit right and didn’t allow the soap to go into the water. The washing machine was broke and didn’t agitate that water. It and many other problems still haven’t been taken care of to this day. My patio door lock was ripped out. The roof was marked with water stains and there was a hole where water came in. Mold on carpets and a ac unit that never worked. My water heater leaked because it was to old and soaked my carpets. I final get hot water but only for 7 min. My apartment was entered 4 different times without my knowledge. I caught 2 individuals one time who claimed to be maintenance and one guy was in my bathroom trying to clean my towels and sponges up after using them to clean the floor. I came home to a mess. My floors were all torn up and the carpet which to this day more than 8 months later was never fixed. I am a disabled individual who is attending school to try and better them self I served my country for 8 years in the military. I have called and called the office people but they don’t return my calls. The manager Tom told me I’m going to need to pay 350 more a month for rent do to the fact my lease is coming to an end. I told him about my problems and he said that’s horrible I’ll get right on it and call you first thing tomorrow. Well Tom never called. I called him a week later and he said o ya nope nothing we can do for you about your lease but can I have someone look at your carpet now. I could go on forever about the loud noise and fights that go on in these apartments but I believe my voice has been heard. I’m a simple person who keeps to themselves. I just want everyone who reads this to know that this is by far the worst I have ever been treated in my life. Even at a time of war when others from another country wanted to hurt me. At least they had enough courage to look me in the eye and not lie. Greystar has yet to contact me after 20 calls.

This is my first experience at spending significant time in a «gated community» so I can’t really compared to other similar places… however, I can say that in general this place is nice. I prefer living in «normal», non gated area but I have to admit that this have its perks. There are services that are free to residents and that include a gym and several pools. We are making regular uses of the gym which is nicely equipped (I wish there was more free weight equipment as these seems always in use, but otherwise, fine).
We came here because some nice members of our family own properties here and were nice enough to let us stay here while they are spending their summer back north. The feeling is a bit suburban. It is possible to walk to some service including a «Publix» supermarket, pharmacies and restaurant but it is easier to get around the area if you have a car.

Wow do I miss this place. It’s like 5 different communities in one complex. BUT, you have access to all the ammenities of them all. It’s super crazy!!!
Onsite gym, not like an apartment gym, but a for real gym with yoga room, cardio theatre, free and machine weights, racket ball court, and a spinning studio. They also offer free exercise classes.
There are a total of 5 pools and hot tubs. The main pool has a café that plays music and makes great crap food. It is so awesome! They have events like poker games, card games, and play sporting events at the bar.
There is also an indoor basketball court, a business center wtih coffee and access to computers and tv. Its great to just go hang out there whenever.
The numerous ponds, fountains, and boadwalk make this just an awesome place to live.
I like the security areas as well. There are guards at the gate but also guards that walk around the entire property with clipboards. It makes me feel great to know they are there just noticing things.
The ammenities are what sold me on this community. Check it out!
